NYCDog Press Conference NYCDog representatives held a press conference yesterday at Foley Square to tell people that off-leash recreation (specifically, the 9 AM to 9 PM courtesy hours in parks without designated dog runs) is an important part of the quality of life of New Yorkers and their dogs.
Off Leash Policy press conference The Health Department heard comments regarding the current leash regulations and we are certain many of the comments included pro-off-leash recreation.
Let us hope that the Health Department will come up with the right way to keep the 9 AM-9 PM privileges available for our dogs and those of the future. In the words of the newly formed Juniper Valley Park Dog Association’s President, Terri Sullivan: “The only difference between the ball players and us is that they interact with inanimate objects and we interact with animate ones.”
